Why Have I not Heard of EDTA Chelation?

That is a very good question and understandably asked by many people who have just discovered EDTA Chelation Therapy.

Many heart specialists and surgeons have never even heard about Chelation Therapy and even if they had they would be reluctant to subscribe it to their patients as it is not yet approved for atherosclerosis and artery blockage problems, it is approved however by the FDA for heavy metal poisoning by the IV method and NOT oral.

Why Have Many Doctors Not Heard of Chelation Therapy?

Mostly those people who are sceptical about EDTA Chelation Therapy are those who have never used it, they remain uninformed about the countless hours of research that has been completed with EDTA and how it has been used by many alternative practitioners for heavy metal poisoning and many circulation disorders.

The mainstream medical profession has to follow  training at medical school to use the recommended therapeutic procedures, anything that can be classed as alternative is not investigated.

If they were able to research the true proven facts of Chelation Therapy for themselves then many medical procedures could be avoided.

Of course in the defence of mainstream medicine Doctors these day are far too busy and overworked to do research of their own so they stick to the Health Authority guidelines which is why many have not heard of Chelation Therapy.

Public perception of Chelation therapy has evolved significantly, shaped by both scientific research and anecdotal evidence. In the late 20th century, the therapy gained popularity among alternative medicine circles, often touted for purported benefits such as improved energy levels and detoxification.

This divergence in perception between conventional medical practitioners and alternative health advocates has resulted in a complicated legacy. Today, while some ardently support Chelation therapy, others caution against it, often due to fears of inappropriate use and potential side effects. With this historical context, it becomes clear why Chelation therapy remains not widely recognised or understood in mainstream healthcare.

Is Chelation Therapy Suitable For Me?

Theres only you that can make that decision but please be aware that EDTA has been proven through research and clinical trials to be safe in the correct doseage, even safer than taking an Aspirin!

You should be aware that Chelation may not be suitable for everyone. However today there are different methods of Chelation available, as well as the IV method, these include oral in various forms and suppositories.

Pregnant or lactating women should wait until after the birth and lactation before taking EDTA. Also people who have been diagnosed with liver of kidney disease should also avoid Chelation. This is because the excess/waste material is dissolved and passed through the urine which could cause extra stress for a diseased kidney, for a normal healthy kidney this is no problem.

The unfortunate truth is that your doctor will probably not help you decide as he has probably not heard of Chelation and its potential benefits. Those who choose to try Chelation generally do so on their own after completing research which can be against the advice of their GP or Cardiologist, and yet they cannot suggest an alternative against surgery.

Many of our customers have already been advised to have vascular surgery before seeking an alternative and they come to us and ask why have I not heard of Chelation Therapy, and rightly so.

In many cases a person never hears anything about Chelation therapy until they are hospitalised and a friend or relative begs them to look into non invasive therapies before going ahead with surgery.

We also hear instances where patients have had one or more failed bypass operations only to find help and success after Chelation Therapy.

In 2002 the National Institutes of Health started a massive study on IV EDTA Chelation Therapy, the IV method (intravenous) is the standard used and should not be confused with other delivery methods. The study was called TACT and it proved that this treatment did reduce the risk of CV disease ın some patients. The trial also found that Chelation Therapy seemed to have a greater effect on those with diabetes.

Note: The type of EDTA used in the TACT trials is the same as Cardio Renew, however the TACT trials used the IV method and NOT oral, that is disodium EDTA and NOT calcium disodium EDTA which is taken by some and marketed by some companies.

Cardio Renew liquid EDTA is available throughout Europe and the UK.
